Hello. Thank you for taking care of old python. Kuwamura-san could give more detailed informations. Actually one of my testing environment is a very old distro, so I just fixed the version issue ad hoc to make xend boot. I don't know about the xen official policy with python version. I'm afraid that the document you referred isn't well-maintained. thanks, On Sun, Jul 26, 2009 at 11:07:29PM +0200, Andreas Florath wrote: > Hello! > > It would be nice, if you can please provide some more information: > especially the OS / Distribution (Version) you are using.
